Tho Socialist Vote In this City.

Sinoe the split In town between the GEORGE
party and the Progressive Labor party, as
the Socialists now call their organization,
tho politicians have been specializing as to
the relative strength OF the two factions
which. united last year, rolled up IS, 900 votes
In tho Mayoralty canvass. Though 1t may
seem to some Of the politicians that q proper
estimate Of tho Socialist strength In New
York 10 problem difficult to master. 1t Is q
fact that very few obstacles stand In the way
Of arriving at an answer to the question.
Without going too much into details, it
may be said that nearly all the Bohemian,
Hungarian. and Polish voters In the city Of
New York are either Socialists or have
strong Soclalistic leanings. AS In Germany
the peoples party is the Socialist party,
those Germans who come from the crowded
Industrial centres Of the Emperor VII
LIAM's dominion. become Socialists on their
arrival here. During the last two years the
accretion OF these voters has been great and
last year 1880 was the number added as new
voters of this class while the prospect Is
that this year there will DO fully as many.
Arriving In New York. they make their
homes, those OF them who stay here, on the
east side OF town exclusively. Some go east
OF the Bowery below Fourteenth street; the
Others go east Of Third avenue above Fifty
second street and below 10th. At the last
election HENRY GEORGE received for Mayor
Ss,llO votes. Of which n number. variously
estimated from 1000 to s,o0o was contributed

The Financial Problem.

We print elsewhere this morning the opin-
Sons OF number OF tho leading bankers, mer.
chants, and other business men Of this city
upon tho present financial strtngenoy and
tho best remedy for It, With scarcely an
Tm Sun he's been intoxicating for months,
that the locking up Of money In the United
6tates Treasury 10 the chief cause OF the
trouble and that II the Government should
make sufficient purchases Of Its outstanding
s~hlIgations It would, while reducing it's an
tnunl interest payments, supply the COM
munity with the currency 1t 80 much needs.
This would remove the immediate financial
pressure, leaving to tho wisdom OF Congress
the moro permanent measures required. The
Treasury now holds . hundred millions OF
dollars more than 1t needs, and tho purchase
OF bonds to that oxtout would save from two
10 three millions year In interest, beeides
doing an incalculable amount OF benefit TO
the business community.
It is curious to notc, however, that none OF
tho gentlemen who have favored us with
their ideas upon the subject seem to re-
member that still another method OF putting
tho Treasury boards into circulation has been
-
hs7s authorizes the purchase Of four millions
or dollars worth Of silver bullion every
month and its coinage into legai-tender dol
lars. Acts passed subsequently authorize
the issue Of certificates against these dollars,
which would result In tho addition Of
their whole amount to the paper currency OF
tho country. Up to the present moment the
Operation Of these laws has been restricted
20 the purchase and coinage Of two millions
of dollars worth Of silver per month, and
even this limited amount has prevented y
much worse currency contraction than now
prevails. Had 1t not been for the millions Of
silver now In circulation In tho shape OF coin
and certificates. We should have nothing to
take tho place Of the millions Of national
bank currency withdrawn during the past
few years aud the millions Of legal tenders
lost and destroyed without bong replaced
by new issues. The authors Of the BLAND
ALLISON oct bu,lded wiser than they knew,
and full advantage has not yet been taken OF
their beneHcent work.

"workins Up" tho Volunteer.

The astounding ability a. sailboat shown
by the Volunteer becomes moro conspicuous
by recalling the race last spring between the
Mayfower and the Galatea. It was nearly
such breeze as blew on Friday, and In q
course Of about tho same length the Galatea
was beaten by thirteen minutes. It was just
the wind that Lieut.. HEM had longed for,
and though the Msylower won 80 over
whelmingly, the sagacious Gen. PAINE then
made the remark that she would have to be
worked up little II she was to beat the
Thistle, which had then but recently APP
peared.
Since she has passed into the hands Of her
new owner the Mayhower has been worked
up. She has received bigger mainsail, tho
alteration suggested by Mr.. BURGESS, and 1t
Is probable that she crossed the line on FRI
day worked up to the highest pitch OF pos
sible perfection. She would probably have
beaten the Galatea twenty minutes had
that boat been In the race, and, from the
way that she and the Thistle struggled along
together it Is plain that II she had not been
worked up, without the Volunteer. the Scotch
boat would have ruled the waves Of 1887.
But now the Volunteer beats the Mayflower
more than sixteen minutes, and would have
beaten her nearly half an hour II the race
had been twenty miles to windward and
back. And yet the Volunteer is still to be
worked up." Her bigger mainsail, which she
yesterday amply demonstrated her ability
to carry, has yet to be put on, and the pot
lead has also to go upon her resmoothened
sides, and several other little improvements
may occur to Gen. PAINE before September ~.
Barring accidents the cup Is still like q
well-bred horse. 1t will stay. And though this
showing will naturally annoy some money
making citizens by spelling the betting, we
make it out Of consideration for the vast
number Of Americans who have nothing on
the race but the love Of their own flag.

Communicated.

Editor Spirit Of Jefferson:
It was the pleasure of the writer to
spend a very pleasant day, in COM
pany with 4 few others, at the g Her
mitagc," the hospitable home of our
venerable and highly esteemed friend
John Kable, Esq, near Ripon. Each
guest received an Old Virginia well
come at the hands of mine host and
his estimable wife, who presided over
her household with that queenly dig
nifty and grace for which all the old
school ladies of Maryland are pro-
verbal; in word, it was a rare in
teIlectual treat TO be present upon this
suspicious occasion.
That Jacksonian Democracy pre-
walls under this roof is evident from
the fact that Mrs. Kable named her
home the g Hermitage, in honor OF
President Andrew Jackson's home in
Tennessee, Mr.. X. being great adj
mirer of Mr.. Jackson.
We saw q magnificent specimen of
Mrs. KabIe's handiwork. 1t was a
beautiful silk quilt, of the hexagon
pattern, containing II, POS pieces,
which she made in 1870 years ago.
All too soon the day came to close,
and we left carrying with us pleasant
recoIlcctions of an enjoyable day at
the "Hermitagc,'' and hoping that
mine host and hostess might enjoy
many more years of life and prosper
ity, and be surrounded by the sun
shine of happiness.
